    “Exceptional representation. Outstanding result.”

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Richard Cooper and Sternberg Reed highly enough. From the very beginning, Richard showed outstanding professionalism, compassion and dedication in what was an incredibly long, complex and emotionally draining case for my grandson and our family. He guided us through every stage with clarity, honesty and calm reassurance, always taking the time to explain matters fully and respond to our concerns. Richard worked tirelessly to ensure the correct expert evidence was obtained and never lost sight of the bigger picture — protecting my grandson’s wellbeing while pursuing the best possible outcome. His strategic approach and determination were instrumental in achieving a result that allowed the case to be brought to an end without the need for a trial. What truly sets Richard apart is not just his legal expertise, but his humanity. He treated my grandson with dignity and understanding throughout, and his support meant more to our family than words can express. I am deeply grateful to Richard and to Sternberg Reed and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing exceptional legal representation.

    Compassionate and Highly Skilled in

    I am truly grateful for the support and expertise provided by Soulla Kokkinos Head of family & child department. Navigating family law matters can be overwhelming, but they approached my case with empathy, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the complexities involved. They took the time to listen carefully, ensuring that my concerns and my nephew needs were always at the centre of the process. Their advice was clear, practical, and reassuring, and they consistently explained each step so I felt informed and confident. What impressed me most was their balance of compassion and firmness—protecting my rights while maintaining dignity and respect throughout. Thanks to their dedication, the outcome was fair and child‑focused, giving me peace of mind and stability for the future. I would wholeheartedly recommend Soulla Kokkinos, Sternberg Reed to anyone seeking reliable, caring, and highly skilled representation in family law.I would also like thank Maggie and the barristers who represented me at court.

      Great advice from a friendly firm.

      Alex and the team were recommended to me by a family friend, so that is always a good way to receive a recommendation. The advice and warmth I received was excellent and reassuring, and Alex and Arooba were easy to communicate with and easy to talk to. The advice they gave me helped me achieve the divorce settlement I wanted from the beginning and I am very thankful for their help.

      Little to no contact

      I have HAD to use sternberg reed for my fathers probate since september 2024. They contact has been unnacceptable i was originally using charles and lisa who then later left the company mideay dealing with the probate (which i was not informed) to find this out contacted the office to find out someone else was now dealing with this i have asked her now 7 times to contact me with an update and since have been feeling next to ignored. They havent even called me after several voicemails since march. This has left me feeling frustrated and made a already stressful process ten times worse. My strongest suggestion if using the canterbury branch for a will move it while you can.

      I used Sternberg Reed for conveyancing - I had a difficult experience working with the seller and the sellers solicitor, their communication was poor and I encountered numerous issues. Raj Sharma and Vicki were a pleasure to work with. Raj gave us expert advice and helped us secure our purchase. Thank you to Raj and Team!

      I had the pleasure of dealing with Richard Cooper since 2014 in a complex case. Richard was professional throughout and represented me exceptionally well from day one. I would not hesitate to use his services again if required and cannot recommend him or Sternberg Reed enough.

      Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top
